Liverpool could reportedly move for Kylian Mbappe next summer if Mohamed Salah is sold to Saudi Arabia.
The Egyptian winger is strongly rumored to leave Anfield next year, with a blockbuster offer set to be made to bring Salah to the Middle East from Liverpool, ending one of the great Premier League legacies.
As a result, Liverpool needs an exceptional replacement for the winger, and according to TeamTalk, Mbappe could be lined up as a successor to Salah on Merseyside.
Lauded as ‘world-class’ by Virgil van Dijk, Mbappe’s future remains one of the biggest talking points in all of football, with Liverpool often linked with a move for the PSG and France captain.
However, with the likes of Jamie Carragher urging the attacker to leave the Ligue 1 giants as soon as possible, Liverpool could be a dream move for Mbappe if Real Madrid can’t afford the deal.
Indeed, Mbappe is easily the best player out there for Liverpool to sign as a replacement for Salah, yet even if the winger is to be sold to Saudi Arabia for over £100m, a deal for the Frenchman could be hard.
Mohamed Salah’s sale might not be enough for Liverpool to sign Kylian Mbappe
Given the astronomical amount of money, Mbappe already earns at PSG, Liverpool signing the forward even as a free agent could take quite some work next year.
Whilst the sale of Salah could easily bring in as much as £100m, Mbappe’s wages and signing-on fees might just be more than what Liverpool make from offloading their 31-year-old superstar.
However, although the finances might still be hard for Liverpool to grasp, a deal could be worth it in the long run given just how good Mbappe is.
After all, we’re talking about one of the best attackers in world football and a player who looks destined to win a Ballon d’Or, and Liverpool can’t pass up an opportunity as good as this next summer.
